...Presentation next...
Mehidy was the star for them but the target was way too much. For Lanka, Kamindu Mendis and Lahiru Kumara were excellent. They picked 7 in total and have given their side a massive win yet again.
In the second innings, it was a good effort from the Bangladesh bowlers to pick wickets at regular intervals but despite that, Sri Lanka's massive lead always meant they were well ahead in the game. They set a target of over 500 for the hosts which was always going to be a big task but they put up a really good batting display.
In reply, it was yet another sorry display from the hosts with the bat as they finished with below 200. Asitha Fernando was the pick of the bowler with a four-fer but he was well-supported by the rest too. They managed to get a massive lead and chose to bat yet again.
Yet another easy win for Lanka and they have completely outplayed the hosts in this series. First it was a combined batting effort from them in the first innings where both the Mendis scored 90s to take their side over 500-run mark.

FOUR! A boundary means Ahmed will be on the strike. On off, this is swept through square leg for four. Just what Lanka wanted.
